How to wean a baby that won't drink from bottle
I'd love any advice on how to wean my baby as he is approaching one years old. He is fully breast fed because he will not take a bottle, or drink milk from any type of beaker / cup / straw cup.. basically if he has milk it HAS to come from the boob! It's been hard with a busy job because I have to express to keep up my supply for him, so once he turns one I want to stop. Ideally I'd love to do it gradually so it fair for him and for me and my body, but I feel like because he is so black and white with it, it may confuse him to sometimes breastfeed (say at bed time) and not in the day... but going cold turkey seems brutal. I'd love to hear from anyone who has had similar experience and managed to wean from breast feeding with a baby that just will not drink milk otherwise. And I'm not really interested in advice about how to get him to drink milk because we have tried everything! I have read lots of things to suggest that as long as he is having dairy in his diet he can be ok without milk once he is one... thank you!
